Hi Steven,

Just catching up on old emails to the list and I came
across this:

Can't you quary the host root and have CookieCuller
use that when it reloads after a profile switch? 
Maybe you need XPCOM implemented for that?  I read you
wanted to implement XPCOM, did you in the beta?  

The extension RefContorol
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/953>
reads the host root and uses that for referrer headers
to that host.  Maybe you could pull some code out of
RefControl and make it a bit less effort to implement
in CookieSwitch?

Regards,
